This flat spring restores proper tension and return action in the mechanism it supports. Replace a fatigued or broken spring to bring back crisp movement and keep linked parts aligned so the assembly operates smoothly.

• Applies return tension to a lever, cam, or latch so it moves back to its rest position
• Helps maintain alignment and engagement between mating parts during operation
• Can resolve weak or missing spring action, sticking controls, and inconsistent operation
• Replaces a worn, bent, or broken spring to restore designed feel

• Disconnect power to the appliance before servicing; shut off water supply if applicable
• Note the spring's orientation and mounting points before removal
• Use needle-nose pliers for control; avoid overbending to prevent premature fatigue
• Confirm smooth return action before reassembly

This replacement spring restores proper tension and return action within the original mechanism of your appliance. Replacing a fatigued or broken spring helps moving parts operate smoothly and return to position for consistent, reliable performance.

• Supplies controlled tension within the assembly
• Returns levers or linkages to their neutral position after use
• Helps maintain proper alignment and engagement of moving parts
• Common signs of failure: weak/loose feel, parts not returning, intermittent operation, rattling or squeaking

• Disconnect power before service; also shut off gas/water
• Note original routing and attachment points; take a reference photo before removal
• Use needle-nose pliers or a spring tool; avoid overstretching the new spring
• Verify smooth manual movement before reassembly and testing

This screw secures appliance panels, brackets, and trim so everything stays aligned and rattle-free. Replace missing, stripped, or rusted hardware to restore a solid fit and dependable operation. What it does:

• Fastens components to the cabinet/frame to maintain proper alignment
• Helps prevent vibration, rattling, and small gaps from loose hardware
• Replaces lost, damaged, or corroded screws to restore secure mounting
• Common signs include loose panels/trim, vibration noises, or shifting parts

• 1 screw

• Disconnect power; shut off gas/water if applicable before servicing
• Support the part being fastened to keep holes aligned and avoid damage
• Start threads by hand to prevent cross-threading; realign if resistance is high
• Tighten snugly—do not overtighten to avoid stripping threads or cracking plastic

This retaining ring snaps into a groove to keep a component securely positioned on its shaft. Replacing a bent or missing ring restores proper fit and helps stop looseness, shifting, and noise from parts moving out of place.

• Locks into a machined groove to secure gears, shafts, or linkages
• Prevents axial movement that can cause wobble or separation
• Helps eliminate rattling, scraping, or intermittent operation from loose assemblies
• Direct replacement for a worn, stretched, or missing ring identified during service

• Disconnect power and allow all moving parts to stop before servicing
• Wear eye protection; retaining rings can spring free under tension
• Use proper snap-ring/retaining-ring pliers and avoid over-expanding the ring
• Ensure the ring is fully seated in the groove with correct orientation and retention

This spring seat cap secures and centers a coil spring within its pocket, providing a smooth bearing surface for consistent tension and quieter operation. Replacing a damaged cap helps restore proper movement and reduce unwanted noise.

• Retains and aligns the spring in its mounting point to prevent it from slipping out
• Provides a wear surface that helps reduce squeaks, rattles, and binding
• Helps maintain correct tension so linked components move and return smoothly
• Common signs of failure: cracked or missing cap, spring won't stay seated, loose/uneven movement, squeaking or clicking noises

• Disconnect power to the appliance; shut off water supply if applicable
• Control spring tension carefully and wear cut-resistant gloves/eye protection
• Note the cap's orientation; seat the spring fully in the cap and bracket before reassembly
• Inspect related spring and linkage; replace any worn parts for best results

This cap spring is a small coil that supplies the return tension a cap or button needs to operate smoothly. Replace it if weakened, bent, or missing to restore proper feel and reliable engagement of the mechanism.

• Maintains spring tension under a cap/button to keep parts aligned
• Helps the cap return smoothly and prevents looseness or rattling
• Supports consistent engagement of the related control or latch
• Typical signs of fatigue: loose or wobbly cap, sticking action, poor return, or a spring that pops out
